An early morning sunrise on a beautiful spring day was perfect for Sophia and Kirk’s engagement session. We met at Fitzgerald Park in Grand Ledge and had the opportunity to capture their images in both the park and on the Ledges along the Grand River. This location is perfect because every time I visit here, I find new spots that make great backdrops for photo sessions, especially engagement and wedding photography. Since our session began at 9 a.m., we pretty much had the park to ourselves which was perfect because on beautiful days in Michigan, this is definitely a tourist spot and the Ledges will be flooded with walkers, hikers, and photography lovers. Spending time with Sophia and Kirk was so much fun and watching their adoration for each other is heart warming. I can’t wait to be a part of their special day in October!

We met working at Carrabba’s. Kirk was a buser and I was a hostess. We became friends and starting dating after being friends for a couple years.
Kirk took me to Carrabba’s to celebrate our anniversary and then asked me to go outside. He proposed on the back patio, and all of our friends had no idea.
